Construction of a Pointed Arch with Pier and Pinnacles
Voussoir coursing of a Gothic arch, recovered after restoration
The e-Leo note records the leaf as devoid of writings before restoration, but the recovered image carries a clearly drawn architectural study. A pointed (Gothic) arch rises at the right from a masonry pier crowned by pinnacles, its voussoirs drawn as individually coursed blocks. Below, a second arch intrados is set out with radiating construction lines, and a faint inked numeral appears at the centre.

Pointed arch, pier and pinnacles
The sheet works out the geometry and masonry of a pointed arch: coursed voussoirs curve up to the right from a tall pier topped by pinnacles, while a lower arch is laid out with radiating lines toward its centre. The drawing reads as a builder's setting-out study for a vaulted structure.
